Re: gnome-guile

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

libtoolize makes sym links from everything in ${prefix}/share/libtool to
the current directory.  There shouldn't be a config.log file in that
directory.  The fact that there is, is either a bug in libtool's install
scripts, or in the way libtool was installed on your system.

To fix this problem, just delete /usr/share/libtool/config.log (or if you
are being cautious, move it elsewhere).

I hope this helps,

James Henstridge.
